Gorgeous morning down on the riverside with not a cloud in the sky. Great to see so many customers enjoying their morning coffee and pastry.

The ice machine is cranked up and the ice cream freezer has been re-stocked.

It’s due to hit 32 degrees this afternoon so we are planning on closing a little earlier than normal at 430pm.

Thank you

We're absolutely delighted that so many of you are enjoying our new outside area - Walton's Al Fresco!

For those of you who have been asking about our planting scheme, we’ve chosen Boxwood, Euonymus Japonica & Ivy.

We wanted to create a space that's relaxing, green, and welcoming all year round. A little riverside oasis where you can sit, relax, and enjoy your coffee.

We've also now launched QR code ordering for anyone who prefers to grab a table first and order from their phone. It's a great option if you're settling in outside or simply fancy ordering at your own pace.

That said, we'll always love seeing our customers at the till too. So whether you order by QR code or pop in to see us, you'll always receive the same warm welcome.

Huge thanks to Rob and Andrew from Rufford Garden Designs for all the hard work they've carried out over the past two weeks. They've done an amazing job creating our new al fresco area.

We're still waiting for the arrival of our new tables, decorations and a few finishing touches, but with the weather being hot hot hot this weekend, we’re opening slightly earlier than planned.

Please note though: as we currently don't have tables in place, all drinks served outside will be in takeaway cups only.

And don't forget, we have picnic blankets available to borrow, if you want to head onto the grass in the gardens.

Open from 730am Saturday with a fully stocked Ice Cream Fridge!

Over the next week, you'll notice some changes taking place outside as we prepare for what we hope will be a fantastic s...

Over the next week, you'll notice some changes taking place outside as we prepare for what we hope will be a fantastic summer together.

We're installing new planters, upgrading our outdoor seating, adding better tables, and generally giving our outside space a glow-up!

As a result, there will be some disruption to our current outdoor seating area whilst the work is underway. If you'd like to take your drinks outside during this period, they'll be served in takeaway cups, and if all available seating is temporarily occupied, we encourage you to enjoy the wider Whitton Riverside Gardens.

Thank you for your patience and support whilst we make these improvements. We think it will be worth the wait!

A slightly disappointing start to the day at Café Walton this morning.

Our CCTV captured two people attempting to gain entry to the café just after 930pm last night. We're hoping it was simply a bit of thoughtless messing around rather than anything more serious, but unfortunately the padlock to the shutter mechanism has been messed with and we may be slightly delayed opening this morning.

We have full CCTV covering the café, and WLDC also have their live monitoring of Whittons Riverside Gardens.

Open ‘til 4pm today. Lots of pastries in the cabinet and Ultimate Carrot is back!

Thank you.

HOT WEEKEND AHEAD!

With the sunshine arriving this weekend, we’re expecting Café Walton to be busier than usual, and there may be times when all of our outside tables are taken.

But don’t let that stop you from enjoying your coffee, toastie, or sweet treat.

Why not take your takeaway drinks and make the most of Whitton Riverside Gardens? The grass has just been freshly cut, and it’s looking absolutely lovely for a little sit-down in the sunshine.

To help, we’ll be offering complimentary picnic blankets to borrow from the café. Just grab one as you leave.

All we ask is that you look after them and return them to one of the crew after use.

Grab a drink, find a sunny spot, and enjoy one of Gainsborough’s hidden gems. Bring you own SPF!

Thanks TNY Electrical Ltd   Amazing team. Great working with you.
